Fun Fact - Business
In the early days of mechanical typewriters, proficient typists could type so fast that the keys frequently jammed against each other. The familiar but illogical QWERTY keyboard was then developed in an effort to space often-used keys apart to prevent jamming. (Source: www.discoverengineering.org)
Fun Fact - Technology & Engineering
Velcro (TM), one of the world's most useful fasteners, is based on the engineering of cockleburs. In the early 1950's, George deMestral went for a walk in the countryside of Switzerland after returning home, he noticed that his jacket was covered with cockleburs. As he began picking them off, he wondered what made them stick. Curiosity led him to find the cockleburs are covered with hooks, and the hooks became embedded in the loops of fabric on his clothes. Today cocklebur-type hooks and woven loops secure everything from children's shoes to microphones in space shuttles. |
